Wore this to my Dental School Senior Dinner, and it was sooo classy. Compliments all night. Loved it! 

I felt beautiful in this dress. Length was perfect and you do not need shapewear. Great quality.

This dress was GORGEOUS and fit me like a glove. I felt like a 90s baddie. From the two sizes I received (4&6), I ended up sticking with the size 4 because it complimented my figure beautifully(the size 6 was a lose around the waist and butt area). The only issue I had with this dress in general is the bust (something to keep in mind for bigger chest babes). The 4 fit my stomach, waist, and lower body perfectly but the bust area was ALMOST too snug where it was uncomfy to take in a deep breath. I was able to feel that restriction  (I’m small chested (a/b cup but I have a broader back because I’m an athlete). By some miracle, the day of the wedding, it fit me no problem! But def something to keep in mind when considering this dress. 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and felt comfortable and put-together all 12 hours I was in this dress. It's essentially strapless, but the grippy neckline and form-fitting nature of this dress meant I had no issues on the dance floor. I ended up sizing down because I felt the chest area looked a bit frumpy in my usual size on my smaller chest.

Highly recommend this dress for a subtle elegant look. Fit me prefect and wasn’t uncomfortable.

Oh man, if you want to stand out for having a unique sense of style, this dress will make it happen!

Loveeeeed this dress!! I wore it to a black tie event and it was a huge hit. I ordered a size up bc of the reviews but thank god I also ordered my size bc my size fit tight but way better! Truly a hit 

A little tight in the bust but true to size everywhere else! Loved this. So many compliments!! If you're bigger in the chest I would reccomend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. 

A beautiful twist to a classic LBD.  The single beaded strap and long chiffon scarf attached creates a feminine and soft flow.  It was a bit big on me as I am a true size 8 in most designers.  I went up a size per the reviews I read and it was large in the bust area for me.  But, I made it work.  Lovely quality and construction.

i read all the reviews and debated on what size to get. i’m normally an 8/10 depending on the fit of the dress. I decided to go with a 10 & a 12 after many people saying it’s a snug fit. ultimately i wore the 10 but it was a little tight on the hips but i could still sit i just couldn’t bend down easily. the 12 fit better in the hips but was too big in the bust area & the strap kept falling off. i honestly didn’t even use the bathroom at my event cus i would’ve had to unzip the whole dress. all this to say, i absolutely loved the dress!!! it was gorgeous and unique and i was happy with the size 10, it snatched me right up. 

Stood out and looked gorg in a crowd of black tie formal 

Beautiful dress with great style. Easy to wear.

Wore this to a ballet, loved the sash and it was slightly too big but had a nice shape!

Ordered the size 2 and 4. The 2 fit but snug so I went with the 4 for more comfortability. Fit great on the body. Loved the one shoulder and draped detailing to spice up a black dress! 

This black one-shoulder dress is chic and timeless, with a flattering drape and subtle slit. Perfectly elegant for a wedding guest look!

Pardon the two shoes - was trying it on & this was the only full bod pic I got in it LOL

Beautiful dress. Felt so elegant. Was snug - but I was my normal size in it…maybe if you’re between sizes, size up or get two size options 

I wore this for a fraternity formal and loved it! I had to size up because it was the only size available, but it did the job. A little big up top! 

This dress fits like a glove! It’s very Hollywood glamorous! I felt like a black Maralyn  Monroe 😊! The fit is not forgiving because the dress has a lining. 

Absolutely LOVED this dress. I ordered a 6 and a 4 and ended up wearing the 4. Got lots of compliments!

I’m usually a 6-8 in dresses but I decided to size up to a 10 and it fit perfectly. The 8 was just a bit too tight area my stomach area so I went with a more comfortable fit. Overall, highly recommend! 

Wore this dress to a fundraiser gala.  Was a great black dress with a few "extras" with the single beaded strap and drape.  The 2 fit but was a little snug. The 4 was too large in the chest.  Ended up wearing the 2, but something in between would have been perfect.  

It snug me in all the right places! It was so flattering. But it was a bit hard to walk in, as the range of motion on my legs were tight— I did have to walk slow with small strides. So be wary of that if you want something more movable. 

Fit great but tight in the rib cage while slightly larger in the chest, the only way I could get it to zip was to go bra-less!  Received numerous compliments 

This dress is so beautiful! It fits perfectly (I’m a 4/6 and opted for the 4 — smart decision), and is just breathtaking. It does wonders for the figure!

This for great on me, it has a tricky zipper on the side tho. 

The 12 fit me but was tight across my meno-tummy.  My fam assured it was flattering.  I could not have worn the 14, it would have been too large.  

I have a smaller chest, so the top was a tiny bit loose but the rest of the dress fit like a glove. Very comfortable to wear. The length was also very flattering. I’m 5’3” for reference! 

Wore this to a holiday gala. The flowing material adds a special touch and the dress was comfortable to wear — just the right amount of sparkle. 

I wore this at a black tie wedding and it was perfect. I typically wear an 8 in dresses, but considering it is a more fitted, formal gown, I went up a size and the 10 was more comfortable than the 8. The embellished strap doesn’t really serve a purpose as in holding the dress up so essentially, this is a strapless dress. The chest area had so much support and never had to adjust it throughout the night. 

Fit me like a glove! Slightly tight on the chest area but I didn’t mind it bc it meant it stayed up all night. Wore to a black tie optional wedding. 

this dress reminded me of something i’d buy for homecoming dance in high school and i absolutely loved it. fit like a glove and gave me so much shape. loved this dress. 

I rented size 12 & 14 and ended up using size 14. It is not a forgiving dress but I used a body shaper and it held everything together. I did not wear a strapless bra so I needed to keeping pulling the top up during the evening.  Overall it is a beautiful dress and I received a lot of compliments, but if decide to use a body shaper and need to use the ladies room make sure someone goes with you to help you with the dress.


I’m about 5’2 and the dress hit right above my ankles which made it very hard to walk in, I was finding myself having to hold the dress up to walk properly. I am also small chested and had to wear a pretty hefty push up bra to get the top to fit snug. I would have ordered a size down if it were available. Overall the dress was very flattering and i received many compliments! 

Gorgeous dress, but definitely not the most comfortable. It runs small and fits very snug, so I’d recommend sizing up if you want to be able to move and breathe easily. The structure is pretty rigid, which made it feel tight throughout the night. That said, it photographs beautifully and looks incredibly elegant on. Perfect for a short event where you don’t mind sacrificing a bit of comfort for the look!

This fit fine but I decided against it because I would have had to wear shape wear all night.

The dress itself is timeless and gorgeous, but I had a hard time keeping it up at my chest. I was constantly pulling it up. 

Felt like a million bucks in it because of the quality  is amazing. Not the most flattering on shorter figures (I'm 5'2") and is stiff with not a lot of give so it's harder to walk in. I paired with mesh gloves and got more compliments on those than the dress!

I loved the sparkly shoulder with side cape it really dressed up the black dress. Low key difficult to walk a with the midi part being mermaid tight. 

I wore this dress to a black tie optional wedding in the bay and it was super cute! The dress was tight in all the right places and made me look snatched even after dinner. I wasn't particularly a fan of the shoulder sleeve since it looks a little tacky in person, but I covered it with my hair for the most part. The dress was also a bit tight towards the bottom so it limited how fast I could walk, but didn't stop me from dancing! :)

This dress was absolutely gorgeous! Wish I got the chance to wear it but another dress I rented ended up working out for me better so I went with that one! Would definitely rent again for a different event to get a chance to wear it!!

Much nicer than in the photos.  As many of the reviews mention, the top is very small/tight.  I sized  up to my backup as a result, but then the rest of the dress was too big (especially the length!) so did not wear.
